I'll be traveling west with Keith and others from the Marion MA area. It'll be good driving the AV8 this year. Last year I had to hitch a ride as my engine was on the "bench".

Attached is what I was in last year. John MacIntyre's blown AV8.

[Slag Kustom]

[Thirtycoup]

[Slag Kustom]

[Flatdog]

I'm in.

[CHOPMERC]

Slag, c'mon, take the caddy or one of the bikes??,,, i know better, you'll be passed out in the passenger seat of White's car for the ride there, do some donuts with it in the hotel parking lot at 4am, then stroll into the show half blind just as everyone is pulling out on Saturday, and ride home passed out in the passenger seat of White's car...sound about right?? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif...oh yeah, BTW I'll be there...bob

[tredboy]

hey slag, your dad has a nice car there, see if he'll let you take it to the show http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[Slag Kustom]

hey just because no one could do a better burnout then me in the hotel parking lot does not mean im going to repeat it this year. do you think the tire marks are still there???

[Fifty5C-Gas]

i'll be there....cant wait.

[CHOPMERC]

not sure the actual tire marks are still there, but i'm sure the indentations in the pavement are still there http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[CHOPMERC]

Mike, call me at work..

[kustumizer]

[**DONOTDELETE**]

I'll be there....hopefully we'll have some bikes to take up

[The37Kid]

I'll be there, will have to check and see if it is ok to bring the engineless and as found U.S.Mule II.

[Deyomatic]

Nate, don't try to go...GO. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif There aren't enough cool shows in New England to be choosy, if you do ONE THING this summer, do this.

[59BuickWagon]

I see you there Jim. Hopefully Friday and Saturday. Sunday there's a NESRO Reunion at the CSRA clubhouse in Wallingford. I'll be there for sure to swap tales and lies from the 70's.

Dennis

PS Doesn't look like I'll see you in Shrewsbury tomorrow.

[Mass Butcher]

I will be there! (should be in the truck)

[Thirtycoup]

hey keith, glad to see your bringing the truck man, we'll be looking for you, mike

[2tall2beahotrodder]

[The37Kid]

Just get across the Hudson River find 684 to 84 and follow the cars to East Hartford.

[Deyomatic]

Nate, you look a little pale, are you coming down with something? I don't think you'll be in any shape to be working that day. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[kustumizer]

lol!! im going to try today to get it off!! i might even grow some balls and follow my firend down in the vomet with its new paint job!!! nate

[2tall2beahotrodder]

[Jimv]

Nate don't ask them shit, just call up that day & say i'm sick!!There isn't shit they can do about it & if they fire you fuckem. why would you want to work at a place that would fire you over taking a day off!!lol

[Richie]

Every year I say I should go....every year I never do.

I KNOW I'm gonna get shit for this....I just don't like car shows.

Ok, ok...let the bloodletting begin...

[Slag Kustom]

this is not your average show. i for one hate the normal car shows. this is more of a big party with alot of cool old cars. one of the best things is the guy at the gate telling the billet boys the show lot is full and they have to go park in the lot http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif most of the bands are really good. the party goes all nite back at the hotel.


on a side note im thinking of getting a keg for this year . last year i went threw more then 4 30 packs and was a big mess with the emptys

[LeadSledMerc]

I'll see you guys there. There's a bunch from my area heading up. Busy weekend you gotta love, Road Agents Friday & Saturday, Nostalgia Drags at Epping on Sunday. It doesn't get any better!

[NoSurf]

I should be there.

My wife is ready to pop with #2. I rigged her baby shower to be that day just a bit south of E. Hartford so I am hoping I can show.

What time are we all meeting and where?

[nailhead55]

just got the buick done,some more primer good to go!hope to meet some of you guys there

[nailhead55]

one more,a little evil

[lulabelle]

I wouldn't miss it for anything!See you all there!

[general gow]

I'm there for sure, and dad (model40) is going too. We should meet at high noon. I'm making a HAMB T so I'll be easy to spot. That and I'm a big fat Irish guy who doesn't drink. I'll stick out like a sore thumb.
So, high noon? Sounds like a plan to me. Against the side of the pavilion where the Road Agents park? Whatcha say...

[Slag Kustom]

im wondering if i will be drunk by then or just waking up at noon im sure 00 Mack will have me awake so he can go stripe

[59BuickWagon]

Sounds good - noon out front like last year when me and Desoto took pics and posted them here?

Dennis

[moondisc]

Maybe next year they can change the date so it's not the same as Syracuse.
I really wanted to see Slags moms Caddy too! hehe

[Sixcarb]

Change the date.........how about Syracuse changes there date and then some more billet crap can be turned away at the gate.

I was told they tried to change the date of the Rumble, but some church group had the field so they couldn't.
BTW, most of the billet shit in Syracuse comes from Joesy! hehe

[40LUV]

My running car won't pass the gate, so I'm going as a spectator.

[59BuickWagon]

No that's probably Bonniville.

[kustomolds]

I'll be there with a bunch of hooligans in tow....

[truth]

Jim - I should be there... might have a booth. I slept and forgot to set it all up earlier! I gotta talk to Luke and see what I can swing. Otherwise I'll just be drunk and trolling around....

[Deyomatic]

Richie, imagine a car show where you actually like 95% of the cars. Imagine a car show where you just don't have enough film to take the amount of pics that you want. Imagine a show that takes place in New England! Imagine a show that you don't go home wondering WHY people spend tens of thousands of dollars making ugly, tacky cars.

This show is one of the reasons I'd like to move back there.

[Richie]

I know I should go....but I'm a stubborn bastard.
A bunch of people have been telling me for years that I'd like it but...I dunno...I'm not big on crowds anymore.

Why would you want to move back here anyhow?.....I'm actually in the begining stages of moving to AZ...I think. Been talking about it for years.....let's work out a trade! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Mass Butcher]

Hey, richie, where on the s.s. are you? No wonder you don't like Mass. Kidding. I live near NH more in the central part of Mass and it's not bad here. I spent 4 years in TX and looked forward to coming back. Once I got back I hated it, but it's growing on me again. I actually look forward to winter every year so I have time to do crap to my truck that I wouldnt do when I'm driving it. Taxes here suck though.

[Richie]

Heya "Butch"...I moved from Brighton back to Weymouth about 3 years ago....and haven't adjusted yet. Even though my familly has been in this town for like 200 years I still can't get used to the pink sweatpants, patriots jackets and Areosmith blaring out of every house in town. I'm not bitter though.

I've been saying for years now that I want to move out west.....I'm a huge wimp in the winter....actually anything under 60 degrees...the only good thing about winters around here is slipping around in the snow.....3rd gear donuts are a ball!

[Deyomatic]

Richie, I sent you a PM.

Yea I heard you used to build cars in jersey till your cnc machine broke down.

[Jake H.]

I hear ya, Richie. My wife, baby boy, and I moved back here in March. Thought we would be better off closer to family. We are now packing our stuff to move back to Seattle, WA, in August.

But, we will be at the Rumble, for sure. You should go, too, man. I don't know if our bone stock (other than Cal Custom baby moons) '57 Pontiac is welcome, though. So, unless I can find someone with a spring compressor I can borrow to slice a couple front coils, we may be parking outside the festivities.

It would be great to be around some hamber's and good music. This whole moving every few months thing can be a real bitch. I am badly in need of some visceral, stress relief in the form of smoking tires and flaming duals. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Mass Butcher]

Hey hammy, I know I don't speak for the RA's, but I don't see why your car wouldn't make it in. The only cars I saw parked outside last year were the billit guys and broke down vehicles.

[Jimv]

If you go to www.theroadagents.com (http://www.theroadagents.com) & click on the rumble, then rumble 2004 they explain the rules in one of the paragraghs.
JimV

[Slag Kustom]

the rules


In case you are not familiar with The Road Agents Hot Rod & Rockabilly Rumble, There is a certain criteria you must meet before you can enter your Rod or Custom. It must be built in true '40s, '50s or early '60s style, or you simply will not be able to enter the show with it. Do these rules offend you? Then they probably apply!! By doing this, The Road Agents have created a truly unique and one of a kind Hot Rod show, and we intend to keep it that way! Please do not waste our time or yours by trying to "sneak" into the show with your billet laden street rod or bone stocker. This show is for modified cars only!! As one spectator best said it when he watched a high-tech rod turned away at the gate ...."Ya don't bring a horse to a dog show!"

We welcome and highly encourage Incomplete Projects, Vintage Drag Cars, Rail Jobs and Altereds!

Please note: If you are trailering a drag car we need you to either unload the car at the hotel or the commuter parking lot down the road (1/8 mile away). Due to space limitations we cannot have you unload the car in the parking lot on Saturday morning. Please NO trailers in the parking lot.

[Jimv]

Long island Vic We haven't heard from you.You going or Not??
jimV

[Richie]

Oh man Hammy...sorry to hear your leavin so soon....but trust me...I know exactly what its like....this place is ridiculous.

I know I should go....and I know I won't. Its only partly that I hate hanging out in fields all day.

The long and short of it is...being massachusetts and all....I can't afford to take a Saturday off.

What a life.....60 hours a week to break even.

Nice place.

Not bitter though......ohhh no.

[tokyo]

I went for the first time last year...it was a great show...not going this year cuz i'm laid up after my surgery. Have fun guys..

Paso..you rock! have fun with the drive.

Somehow I missed this post the first million times around - I'll be there! See y'all around noon.

I had an absolutely great time last year and I'm really looking forward to this year's show.

Moondisc - I think you're avoiding me http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Later guys,
Jay

[haring]

I'm going to try to go, but I'll only be able to attend Saturday. I need to be home Saturday night. Not sure if I'll drive the Falcon or just zip up in my truck (late model, very fast, very comfy http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif).

[burger]

Haring,

If you decide to go up on Friday, you could cruise with Allie, Spike, and I.


Ed

[Kustom Chief]

My wife and I are heading up on Friday and finally bringing our 54 Pontiac. First time with a car to the Road Agents Show. We are super excited for the trip. See you all there.

Larry

[Jake H.]

Looking forward to seeing that '54, Kustom Chief. I really wanted to drive our '57 Chieftain, but I still haven't got it registered.

Whataya think, guys? Could I make it from Millbury running WA plates and '97 tags without gettin' snagged by Johnny Law? Otherwise, I'll just take the wife's civilian transpo there.

[Jake H.]

Sorry, almost forgot. How much does this deal cost, anyway? Can't find any info on the Road Agents site. Is it free? No way can it be with The Paladins headlining.

I want to give my wife her first dose of a real hot rod show. And we want to take our 11-month old; Leo "the future of rock-n-roll" Hamilton to this shindig. Is it toddler friendly?

[Jimv]

I was $10 every year.For eveyone, not per car.
JimV

[shoebox72]

I'm pretty sure the chick on GO-KAT-GO,(radio program), said it was $15 per person on Sat.

See ya all there Friday.

[59BuickWagon]

I think Friday night was free so I spent my allowance on beer http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif
